Several of the seniors were talking among themselves- when Audrey Payne remarked, UI wonder what became of the class of 1940. It was unusually small and I remember that Gene in his sophomore year was so set on getting to be on the first nine of the basket- ball team but alas! James Cox and all of his fancy playing made Gene look rather e1umsy.H Peggy Tough answered, nOh, Richard Yeates married someone but they were divorced within a year3'His wife charged him with smil- ing too much. She said that he smiled even when he was angry with her. Richard is working like a dog to pay the S100 a month alimony she asked. Then the conversation was centered around isuch little words as these: James Cox married Opal Bond when he graduated but they as a whole couldn't get along. They argued about who was the better basketball player. Even with his broken heart, James tried to forget Opal and applied his ability to play ball to a career. He is now basketball coach at the University of Missouri. Betty Finch, after her marriage to Francis Dawson a year be- fore decided that marriage wasn't exciting so she began her career as a journalist. She is now making great progress as a fashion editor of, the New York Times. Doris Liles and Homer Lyons are still sweethearts. Homer is a great medical doctor and Doris took nurses' training in the hospital in which he is an interne. She is an air hostess now. 1 Gera Johnson is a member of the United States Senate. Gera's practice as an orator in her senior year gave her a great lift in gaining this position.

In September, l956, seven bashful freshmen entered Metz High School to increase their knowledge and to remain for four, long, strenuous, but very happy years. These seven included,namelyg Gera Johnson, Doris Liles, Bette Finch, Dorothy HcGinnis,Richard Yeates Winifred Strait and James Cox. Two weeks after school started the sophomores initiated us and we were soon one of the crowd. Later,we gave a party for the benefit of the sophomores. Our class was increased by one when Louise Howard entered in December. g ' 4 1 We began our sophomore year with the same number of representatives in the fall of l957. We entertained the freshmen this year with an initiation party at the high school building. We put in nine months of study this year and besides the usual number of events, nothing extraordinary happened. ' In the fall of l95S, our class was decreased in number, when Winifred Strait moved to Newton, Kansas. ' This year, we chose Miss Gaines as our sponsor and we I soon were rehearsing for our junior class play, which was entitled,?The Blue Bag.H Miss Gaines gave a Christmas party at her home for our class and the' invited guests. ' The seniors and faculty were guests of the juniors on a trip taken to Rockaway Beach in the Czark region of Missouri. ' We began our final year on September 5, with six pupils. Louise Howard dropped out at the end of our junior year. This year we presented our senior play, HDon't Darken My Door.u I We were guests of the juniors on a trip this spring in our honor. We seniors went to Eldorado Springs and had our pictures taken on the morning of March first. Thus, our class, beginning as bashful freshmen, graduated as proud and dignified seniors.
